Re: Proposed XMPP Extension: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)

I do not understand why the XEP is locked to OMEMO and also we roll our 
own identity scheme.


What we can do instead is use a standard that is well documented and 
already exists for this Decentralized Identifiers 
https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/ this would give us:

- decoupling of the verification of identity from any centralized entity 
and any encryption scheme

I understand that it supposedly strives to not depend on servers, but 
such a thing is not possible yet in xmpp due to DNS reliance. DIDs on 
the other hand can support multiple verification methods.

- our own xmpp method to resolve things to

- a standardized way to represent this and do discovery, not reinvent 
our own

- multiple ways of authentication besides just xmpp pubsub things
